Filed the Magny Cours paddock of Formula 1 is ready to move on the
circuit in which it was born the World Cup, the path that has done and is
still the story of the motorsports: Silverstone

The appointment French gave us a Ferrari even stronger than is returned
to the command pilot of the league thanks to the victory of his pilot
Felipe Massa ahead of Kimi Raikkonen and Scottish Red Bull's David
Coulthard.

As usual we know all the secrets of the English thanks to the runway of
Eng. Gabriele Tredozi: "Silverstone is a complete path, at Barcelona,
which requires a load aerodynamic medium - low. Precisely because of its
fast track the efficiency is very important, as well as a just
distribution of weights, the centre of gravity low and a single rigid. It
'a path in which the qualities of the car stand out in particular and in
which brakes are not particularly stressed

Silverstone

It's 'characterized by very fast curves and so it is vital to have a
stable car without sovrasterzo: the complex Becketts and Bridge curvoni
are very fast and then very imported to mark a good feedback
cronometrico. Feature equally important is the traction, especially in
the final start of the route which he places on the curve to do in
speeding up and leading on the final straight. We must try to get out
well for a good acceleration.

The grip asphalt is quite good even if the tires are still very
solicited, especially those left since most of fast curves are right.
Precisely for this aspect the tactics of a single stop is not advisable
and most of the team will choose for two stop, despite the pit lane is
relatively long.

Given the speed to overtake other is not easy also because we must be
careful not to lose the load following the wake. The points which will
see the overtaking are basically two: the first curve, Copse, although it
is certainly not easy, and the "Stowe", the variant right after the
Maggotts-Becketts-Chapel to go into fourth gear 199 km / h. From the
point of view visico pilot Silverstone is very hard, because the hill is
called a high lateral G: to the first corner touching the 5G, while the
Bechetts it comes to 6G

Precisely for these features the development is certainly not easy and it
is very important to optimize the best car: this from a greater margin
for improvement.
